I never thought of it that way.
It's funny because I never worried much about negative lyrics, I even preferred them, but in recent years, I seem to have developed a new appreciation for KISS as a reaction to it - their lyrics are almost always about self-empowerment and having a good time.
Which is the exact opposite of what I am and where I come from as a musician and songwriter. I spent my life trying to express the color black with music.
Interestingly enough, KISS recently announced a collaboration with a Japanese Pop Group called Momoiro Clover Z.
